Keep burning coal or the manatee gets it: Rendering the carbon economy invisible through endangered species protection.
Antipode 50(1): 82-100. https://www.academia.edu/35626631/KeepburningcoalorthemanateegetsitRenderingthecarboneconomyinvisiblethroughendangeredspeciesprotection
–ABSTRACT: As ever expanding accretions of human industrial and residential development pave over endangered Florida manatees' warm water springs winter habitat, more than half of the manatees have come to depend upon fossil fuel-burning power plant hot water effluent channels for survival. In an effort to save these manatees, environmental activists have leveraged the US Endangered Species Act to protect the effluent streams and, by extension, have enshrined the power plants themselves as ecological saviors. This study interrogates the paradoxes within the resulting spatio-legal regime. Recognizing the problematic human/nature binary at the heart of dominant Western practices, our study suggests spatial and legal regimes do not simply reify and reproduce this binary but also produce invisible ecocultural spaces that are essential to prop up an inherently unstable, illusory, and ultimately destructive definition of human existence.
